No, they are not. MAOI's are antidepressants and you would know if you were on them as a restricted diet is required. Lamictal is a anticonvulsant used as a a mood stabilizer. Geodon is an antipsychotic.

Lamictal and Geodon are not MAOI antidepressants.

Lamicatal is an anti seizure medication that can be used for bipolar disorder as a mood stabilizer.

Geodon is an atypical antipsychotic medication. It's use is for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It's novel because compared to other medications of it's type it doesn't cause as much weight problems.
